How to Use the Ember Climate MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use the Ember Climate MCP server to compare countries?

Windsurf's Cascade agent uses the getgenerationmultientity tool. This lets it pull generation data for several countries at once, so it can build a comparative analysis without making dozens of separate requests.

Q: Is there a way to see what filter options are available for Ember Climate in Windsurf?

Yes. You can ask Windsurf to query the getapioptions tool. It will return all valid country codes, energy types (series), and date ranges you can use in your other queries.

Windsurf now pulls global energy data. Set a goal, like 'find the fastest-growing solar market,' and watch Cascade build the report for you.

Perplexity

Track Decarbonization from Your Editor

Give Windsurf a target, and its Cascade agent gets to work. It can start by pulling high-level trends with `get_power_sector_emissions_yearly` to identify countries with falling emissions, then automatically chain a call to `get_carbon_intensity_monthly` to see if those drops are consistent or just seasonal artifacts. You don't prompt every step. Cascade plans the query sequence, executes it against the Ember Climate data, and presents the findings. It's the difference between asking for directions and just saying where you want to go.

Compare National Energy Grids Autonomously

Stop doing country-by-country analysis by hand. Ask Windsurf to compare the renewable mix of Germany, Brazil, and Japan. Cascade knows to use the `get_generation_multi_entity` tool to pull all that data in a single, efficient request. From there, it can dig deeper on its own. It might use `get_installed_capacity_monthly` to see if a drop in wind generation was due to weather or a lack of new turbines. You get the complete picture without having to guess the next question.

A Smarter MCP Server for a Smarter Agent

Cascade doesn't just blindly call tools; it learns them. It can ping the `get_api_options` tool first to discover which countries, date ranges, and energy sources are even available for this MCP server. This makes its plans more likely to succeed on the first try. This self-discovery means you're not debugging failed API calls. You just connect Windsurf to the Ember Climate server. Cascade handles the rest, turning raw tools into a finished analysis.

Setup guide

Set up Ember Climate MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Ember Climate MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Ember Climate payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Ember Climate tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Ember Climate MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf's Cascade agent uses the `get_generation_multi_entity` tool. This lets it pull generation data for several countries at once, so it can build a comparative analysis without making dozens of separate requests.

Yes. You can ask it to find countries with high solar capacity growth but still-high carbon intensity. Cascade would likely combine data from `get_installed_capacity_monthly` and `get_carbon_intensity_yearly` to identify those targets.

You get access to Ember Climate's global energy data. This includes electricity generation by source, total demand, power sector CO2 emissions, and installed capacity for wind and solar, with both monthly and yearly data available.

Yes. You can ask Windsurf to query the `get_api_options` tool. It will return all valid country codes, energy types (`series`), and date ranges you can use in your other queries.

This MCP server only handles queries for public energy data like country codes and date ranges; it never touches your personal information. All connections are managed by Vinkius through a single token, running in an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox.
